Ultherapy®

Ultherapy is a new type of non-surgical, non-invasive procedure for the face that uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin.

Ultherapy stimulates collagen growth in the skin tissue at three different layers.

The FDA-cleared device used in the procedure utilizes the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin—including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift—without disturbing the surface of the skin.

With Ultherapy, you can go about your day after a single, 30-60 minute in-office procedure. You may notice a short-term “boost” but the natural process of creating new, more elastic, collagen builds over time—much like the effect that exercise has on building muscle (but without the multiple workouts!). You may see results over the course of 2-3 months and some patients have reported continued improvement for up to 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION: How does Ultherapy stimulate the creation of collagen?
ANSWER: Ultherapy deposits focused ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin at the optimal temperature for collagen regeneration. The treatment jumpstarts a natural process, known as neocollagenesis, to produce fresh, new collagen. Ultherapy doesn’t involve any creams, fillers or toxins; it just relies on your body’s own collagen-building process for natural, noticeable results.

QUESTION: Will I need to take time off?
ANSWER: With Ultherapy, there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can resume your normal activities immediately, without having to follow any special post-treatment measures.

QUESTION: What does the Ultherapy® treatment feel like?
ANSWER: As the ultrasound energy is delivered, you will feel tiny amounts of energy being deposited to precise depths, indicating that the collagen-building process has been initiated. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but the sensation only lasts while the ultrasound energy is being delivered.

QUESTION: When will I see results? How long do they last?
ANSWER: After your Ultherapy® Treatment, you may see some initial effect, but on average the results will take place over 2-3 months time, as your body naturally regenerates collagen. Since the procedure stimulates your own collagen production, how long the results last really depends on you. The treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural aging process will dictate how long that translates into visible results on the outside.

QUESTION: Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?
ANSWER: A good Ultherapy candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to feel and look less firm. Examples include a lowered eyebrow line, loose skin on the neck, sagging under the chin, and lines or wrinkles on the chest.A good Ultherapy candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity where the skin begins to feel and look less firm.
